Man, if the staff was reviewing me and my scores, I would be scared because that would mean if the thought you cheated, you'd probably be frozen-ified...

It is absolutely nothing to worry about. TNT (sometimes, not always) reviews your score if it's high enough for a high-score chart position. I've had my Volcano Run scores reviewed tons of times. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days for them to get to it, but once it's approved you'll go into the high-score table and get your NP. Congrats on the score!

Exactly what cranberry said. They are just checking your score to make sure no cheating programs were involved (which they werent) then they will post your score up and give you a trophy :)

I would argue that there is indeed a problem at the moment...

Just look at the Mootix Drop high score tables... no one is >= 2000 pts... Which is not normal. I'm almost certain I'm not the only one who has gotten over 2k points this month already (though that 1990 is also mine). You always get that score review thing if you get 2000 or more points though (i've gotten exactly 2000 before..)

That had to have been very incomprehensible... *goes to bed to get sleep and sanity and coherency*...

Nah, it made sense. It's been holidays/the weekend, so they probably just haven't reviewed the scores for that game yet. When they do, the scores on the high-score tables will jump.

Thanks all for the help :) I might get a trophy, but there might be others who got higher score than me in meerca chase, but maybe... Anyways, I took a screen shot just in case, yo unever know :P

I just purposefully killed myself at 992 points. Call me crazy... but I'm hoping they'll give out trophies before they check everyone who got higher than 1000. ;) If they do that, I might get a bronze (I'm in silver position right now, but expect to be knocked out in the next couple hours).

ETA: It worked, and I got the silver! The scores didn't move at all in two hours, so it seems not many people score over 990. When your 1100+ score goes through you'll most likely be in a trophy position. Good luck. :)

The staff now review scores that are high enough to earn a trophy or over a set score as to stop cheaters that use programmes to earn trophies by getting an insane score like 100,000 on Volcano Run

Grats, I didnt kill myself cause I didnt know! i would have tried to get 998, first place trophy if I knew ;)

Yeah, I only knew to kill myself thanks to you, so... thanks. ;) Your score is still a good one, so you should get a trophy anyway (might not be gold, but a trophy's a trophy, right?). TNT will be back to work today, so someone should review your score sometime during business hours.

Wow, a lot of people scored high! I guess it was over a few days. But now you know what to do next month, right? Get as close to 1000 as you can without going over. ;)
